Changing Your Meeting Preferences

The Meeting Preferences page displays the business rules that govern how your meetings are scheduled and run. Most of the information was set up by your system administrator when your account was created.

Changing Your Meeting Announcements

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace supports several announcements to help govern your meeting. These announcements can indicate when new participants join or leave your meeting, when the meeting is about to end, when a meeting is extended, and what users will hear when they try to enter your meeting by phone. You can choose to modify these announcements or turn them off entirely.

Tip

If you are in a large meeting that is set to announce each participant upon entry, complete this procedure to change the entry announcement to Silent.

Option

Action

Entry announcement

Select an option to indicate what users will hear when a new participant joins the meeting.

Beep Only—A short beep is emitted during the meeting to indicate that someone has entered the meeting.

Beep + Name—After a short beep, the recorded name of the participant is announced. If you do not hear the name of a participant upon entry, the participant probably did not record a name before entering the meeting. Identify the participant before the meeting begins.

Silent—There is no indication that someone has entered the meeting.

Departure Announcement

Select an option to indicate what users will hear when a participant leaves the meeting.

Beep Only—A short beep is emitted during the meeting to indicate that someone has departed the meeting.

Beep+ Name—After a short beep, the recorded name of the participant is announced. If you do not hear the name of a participant upon departure, the participant probably did not record a name before entering the meeting.

End of meeting announcement

Select Yes if you want the system to announce that your meeting is ending. Otherwise, select No or Group Default.

Meeting extension announcements

Select Yes if you want the system to announce when your meeting is extended. Otherwise, select No or Group Default.

Meeting Entry Mode

Select an option to indicate what users will hear when they try to join the audio portion of your meetings.

Echo Meeting ID—The system repeats the meeting ID so that users can confirm their choice. When users first enter the meeting ID, their ID is repeated for confirmation. After users confirm the meeting ID, they are asked to record their names then placed in the meeting.

Skip ID repeat—The system skips the repeat of the meeting ID. When users first enter the meeting, users are asked to record their names then are placed in the meeting.

Skip ID repeat and skip names—The system skips the repeat of the meeting ID and recording. When users first enter the meeting ID, they are placed directly in the meeting without recording their names.

Invited Profile Users—Only profiled users who are invited to your meeting can skip entering the password when joining your meeting.

Publicly Listed Meeting

Select an option to indicate whether this meeting will be displayed on the Find Meetings page when users search for public meetings.

Yes—Your meetings are displayed for all users.

No—Your meetings are displayed only to meeting invitees.
